Sumana pointed this out during the screening of The Man in the White Suit, when the captains of industry are trying to get Alec Guiness to sign away the rights to his idea. Some people don't care about you as a person at all; they'll try to cheat you, walk all over you, trick you, but they won't lie to you. They have to be able to convince themselves they gave you a fair deal. That's why that scene is so great. You don't see that trait in movies much anymore; it's too complicated.
